“I have had chronic back and knee pain for over a year and finally decided to try physical therapy—it did not disappoint. I consistently did two sessions a week for almost 3 months with JB and most of the pain has gone away. Now when I have flare ups, I have the skills and exercises to self manage. JB was extremely knowledgeable, personable, patient, and kind. He easily diagnosed and treated the areas of injury. I cannot recommend Recovery Therapy and JB enough! ”

“The PT knew what he was doing, he used several methods to alleviate the pain and demonstrated and gave several exercises to do at home. I left feeling better and with less pain.”

JB is literally the best PT I have been to. My hips are realigned and he also works on my legs, feet, core and back so it is very wholistic. He tells me what type of things to avoid doing at home and also takes time to really hear what’s causing issues. Really really love coming here.

I have been to physical therapy a few other times in the past. J.B. is the best and most caring physical therapist! I always felt that N.B. was concerned about how my condition felt each visit, and he always addressed every concern. J.B. gave me excellent exercises to do at home and made sure that I was doing them correctly. Everyone would be lucky to have J.B. and they will feel better and keep improving.
